The National Water Data Exchange (NAWDEX), managed by the U.S. Geological Survey, has established a network of Local Assistance Centers throughout the United States and Puerto Rico to assist users of water data in identifying and locating the data they need. This up-dated Directory provides the information needed to contact...
Fission-track dating of the Climax and Gold Meadows stocks, Nye County, Nevada
Charles W. Naeser, Florian Maldonado
1978, Open-File Report 78-419
Fission-track ages indicate an age of 101 m.y. for the Climax stock and a minimum age of 93.6 m.y. for the Gold Meadows stock, both at the Nevada Test Site, Nye County, Nevada. Younger fission-track ages for apatite concentrates suggest that the stocks have been within 4 km of the...
Hydrologic evaluation of part of central Volusia County, Florida
P. W. Bush
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-89
Municipal wells close to the Atlantic Coast cannot be expected to supply the steadily increasing population of Volusia County, Florida, indefinitely without causing saltwater intrusion problems. Therefore, new wells will be drilled away from the coast. The source of water for the planned artesian aquifer well field will be leakage...
A seismic refraction experiment performed in the Melones Reservoir region of the metamorphic belt, central California
James N. Murdock, John C. Roller
1978, Open-File Report 78-131
A seismic refraction experiment was conducted in the metamorphic belt of central California during May 1972. Seven charges were fired during the experiment. Three seismic refraction lines, 75 to 125 km long, were made in the belt. Also, data were gathered for regional travel-time calibrations. The experimental data are presented....

Russell G. Wayland, A. Dewey Acuff, Thane M. McCulloh, C. Barry Raleigh, John G. Vedder, Keith A. Yenne
1978, Open-File Report 78-906
A build-up of pressures developed in an exploratory well being drilled in the Santa Barbara Channel during the period August 9 to 15, 1978. Nearly coincidentally, a sharp earthquake occurred 2 miles south of the city of Santa Barbara at 3:55 p.m. PDT on August 13, 1978. A task...
Water-level declines in the Madison area, Dane County, Wisconsin
R.S. McLeod
1978, Open-File Report 78-936
The water supply for the city of Madison, Wisconsin, and for surrounding municipalities is obtained from the ground-water reservoir that underlies the area. This ground-water reservoir is composed of an upper aquifer and an underlying sandstone aquifer. High-capacity water-supply wells pump from the sandstone aquifer. Pumping from the sandstone aquifer has...
Water quality in the Sugar Creek basin, Bloomington and Normal, Illinois
Byron J. Prugh Jr.
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-78
Sugar Creek, within the twin cities of Bloomington and Normal, Illinois, has differences in water quantity and quality as a result of urban runoff and overflows from combined sewers.Water-quality data from five primary and eight secondary locations showed three basic types of responses to climatic and hydrologic stresses. Stream temperatures...

1978, Open-File Report 78-445
In 1969, the Caribbean District of the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, initiated the operation of a network to monitor some parameters indicative of water-quality changes at selected stream sites. The initial network consisted of 18 stations, which were expanded to 20 in 1971,...
An oilspill risk analysis for the southern California (proposed sale 48) Outer Continental Shelf lease area
James Richard Slack, Timothy Wyant, Kenneth J. Lanfear
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-80
An oilspill risk analysis was conducted to determine the relative environmental hazards of developing oil in different regions of the Southern California Outer Continental Shelf lease area. The study analyzed the probability of spill occurrences, likely paths of the spilled oil, and locations in space and time of such objects...
